To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARRY Nnwnonn,

Great Britain, is- St. Bernards, Cumberland Road, St. Albans,Hertf-ordshire, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in IGoggles for Airmen, Motorists, and others,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to goggles for use by airmen, motorists andOthers, and to that class-of goggles wherein the two grooved I orchanneled frame sections which. carry the windows are hingedto acentral'connecting piece. 4 v I According to the invention the channelsof the frame sections are somewhat deeper adjacent to the hinge than atthe other parts i to form pocketsrounded on theouter sursections areinserted and pivoted.

. by reference --to the accompanying drawing,-

' for carrying collapsilble guards face, and the connecting piecebetween the two said frame sections is of angle shape in section, thetwo limbs being curved to an arc' of a circle, corresponding with the external surfaces of the pockets of the frame sections and provided at theextremities with lugs between which the ends of the frame clearly inFig.

The invention will be readily understood in which Figure l is anelevation of a pair of motor goggles having the frame constructedinacc'ordan'ce with the invention, and wherein duplex or two leafsprings are employed of fabric one leaf of each of which springs isinserted into the channel of the corresponding frame section. w Fig. 2isa section on the line 2-2, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the jointbetween the two frame sections;-and I Fig. 4 is a section on the'line4-4, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 shows an'elevatio'n of the parts of the jointdetached from one another; and

- dows'.

Fig. 6 is a section of these detached'parts on the line 6-6, Fig. 5.

Figs. 7 and 8 are an elevation and a plan illustrating the applicationof the inven-' tion to goggles having glazed lateral wina-a indicate thetwo framesections and bb the pockets with which .these frame sectionsare provided. These frames are advantageously each formed from a flatblank of somewhat greater width at'or near the center than at the otherporti ns so that shown in Figs. 1 to 4.

when the blank is stamped or flanged to form the channel the latter maybe made deeper at this broad portion than at the other parts, ilyunderstood by. reference to Figs. 1 and -5 0f the drawing. The deepeningof the channel at this part aifords the necessary space for the pivotpins, thewindows and of. making the said pockets of semi-circular formexternally, as indicated at c in Fig. 6.

behind the edge of the frames (1 will be made sufficiently broad toreceive not only the window (1 but also one member 6 of the duplex ortwo leaf spring frame (when used) with the fabric f upon it, the duplexspring eoeern in a manner which-Will be readframe having connectedtosuflicient surface to allow It will be understood that the-channel ofy as will he clearly underthey will always !be in contact therewith and}thereby prevent the passage of dust and air betweenthemv lcfk are the ofthe connecting piece '5 and between which the frames a are inserted andto which they are united byhinge or pivot pins Z, Z as Instead ofarrangmg a" separate pin Z in connection with each lug. k as shown, asingle pin,passed through both lugs, may serve for each window, theformation of the pockets" affording sufiicient space for theintroduction of such pin the pocket and the edge of the Window frame'inthe channel. 5 I

It will be understood that the improved construction allows of thegoggles being lugs formed at the extremities between the back of foldedwith the outer faces of the windows adjacent to one another.

The invention can advantageously be ap- Q plied in connection withgoggles having lateral Window flaps, as shown in Fig.7. In this case,however, the connecting piece z' between a lat rel Win and a main I tothe other. Also, in this case, the portions for the lateral windows ofthe channel frames carrying the hinges deeper than would otherwise benecessary.

aving now particularly described and as-' certained the nature of mysaid invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declarethat what I claim is 1. Goggles for airmen, motorists and "others of the'class set forth, wherein the channeled frames, at the hinge portions,are made sufliciently deep to allow of the said portions being madesemi-circular in section, and wherein the connecting piece betweenltheadjacent frames is' of angle shape will be made slightly,

faces against which. the correspondingly curved surfacesof the frameswill fit, substantially as, and for the purpose, de-

and mens pivota-lly connecting the frames and said connecting piece.

3. The combination with a plurality of y lens frames having curvededges, of an angle shaped connecting piece having curved limbs snuglyengaging the curved edges of the frames and forming dust tight joints,lugs provided at the top and'bottom edges of said limbs and engaging theouter surfaces of the frames, and pivot pins passing through said lugsand frames'for securing the frames I to the connecting 1n sectlon, thetwo limbs having curved surv iece.
